One other thing I ought to mention... instead of a standard three-prong plug on the back of the headlamp, there are three individual wires... which I pulled without noting which went where. When I plugged the wires into the new bulb, it seemed to make light no matter where they were, but only works the way its supposed to when wired correctly.

Someone here probably the correct wiring written down... wind chill is below 0F outside and my garage is COLD, so I'm gonna pass on taking a look at it this evening. If you don't have a 7" headlight in it already, you'll have to obtain a new ring. Readily available from CMW, Hitchcock's and others.

I did that 'forgot-to-note-which-spade-terminal-goes-where' routine when removing the headlight shell for other wiring mods. I was pretty close. Only thing though was that when reassembled it worked with the dipped beam on when the switch was in the full beam position and vice versa. A quick swop over of two terminals sorted that out OK

It is a white light and a pleasure to follow instead of that yellow beam. I had to bend some tabs on the back of it to make it fit, and swap the green and blue wires putting the blue in the middle. Also had to make a rubber ring to help fit tight cause I bent the tabs too much. - Mike

Mike.Is that lense a direct exchange fit or need some fettling to allow it to fit? Does it also have the little 'sidelight' bulb holder in the lower section?Cheers, LSM

LSM- just some minor fettling to some tabs on the back. It is a complete replacement with a holder in the back for the H4 halogen bulb. Oh yea, I had to remove the 3prong plug and put spades on the wires. - Mike

Three prong plug? Did your RE come with that then?Mine has the three spade terminals as std. Just as well really as the bulbs tabs have to be bent sideways to allow the headlight to fit back in without it fouling the speedo cable!
